Carthage carnage: Tcherniakov's Trojans flops at the Bastille

Tcherniakov reduces Berlioz' epic to little more than Circle Time therapy, a poor way to mark the composer's anniversary year.
Hector Berlioz' Les Troyens conquer Vienna

An epic night at the opera with Joyce DiDonato, which will be hard to forget.
Horse and Carthage: The Trojans in Nuremberg
